Review: Christian de la Croix was desparate to save the life of his unborn son which makes for a dramatic opening in this fantastic medieval tale by a new author. The author quote on the cover says it all! I am a fairly new fan of medieval romance but if I had not been....this awesome debut book would have clenched it for me. If you have not yet read it do yourself a favor and get a copy soon and fall in love with this hero!!

Summary: Great book!!
Review: I am a fan of medieval romance novels, but lately I haven't read any real good ones. Fortunately, Amazon recommended this book and I am glad I bought the book. A story has to grip your interest from the first page and this one really did. Loved the hero and heroine and the plot. Read it in one day. Marliss Moon has a flowing style and I am looking forward to her next book. Hopefully a medieval one again!

Summary: One of my favorite books now!
Review: I can't wait for Marliss Moon's next book after reading this great first novel. I loved the characters and the story. It kept me interested from start to finish, and, of course, made me fall in love with Christian, too. He is attractive and sexy, and the book's cover does him credit! A very satisfying romance that I could not put down. I will definitely keep this book to read again and again.

Summary: Really good book.
Review: I just got done reading this book and it was really good. The story grabed you from the beginning and takes you on a ride. This being the first book from this author that I have read, I will look for more of her books. I get the feeling I wont be disapointed. Christian is truly one of the best hero's that I have read in a while. He was a good guy, I wouldnt mind one of him for myself. He pulls at your heartstrings. Recommended.

Summary: 4 1/2 stars - a really great hero!
Review: I must say that I have been impressed with the Jove Seduction line of books that I've read so far. Marliss Moon is a new author to look out for (another is Kathleen O'Reilly).Christian De La Croix AKA The Slayer is a feared warlord who needs a wet nurse for his newborn son. There are rampant, lurid rumours about his various violent misdeeds, the most recent being that he killed his wife in childbirth. The servants in his own household are terrified of him so finding a wet nurse will prove difficult. But stranger Clare Crucis (whose real name is Clarise DuBoise) volunteers for the job. She has an ulterior motive - to get close to The Slayer in order to poison him or her evil stepfather will kill her mother and sisters. But after only days in The Slayer's company, Clarise decides that the rumours about him are greatly exaggerated, that there is more to this man than his reputation and that she cannot kill him. Though he has earned his reputation on the battlefield and is truly a man to be feared, Clarise sees in him a sadness, a longing and a kindness that she had not expected. The more she learns about the circumstances of his birth, his childhood and his years training to be a warrior, she is struck by the conflicting influences in his life. Clarise comes to care for Christian and his son Simon and now stuggles with how to save her mother and sisters. After all her lies, can she ask Christian to help her? And is there someone in Christian's household trying to kill Simon? As Christian spends more time with Clarise, he begins to hope that she has been sent by God to help him change his life. To help him to recapture the good in him that his mother instilled, but that his father tried to destroy. He longs for a tender and fulfilling relationship with a woman instead of the cold, emptiness of his first marriage. But how to make himself worthy of her? I really enjoyed this story and found Christian an endearing and sexy hero; Clarise a strong, independent, if impulsive heroine. A recommended read!

Summary: engaging medieval romance
Review: In 1150 North York Moors, Christian La Croix known as the Slayer for his ferocity at war, saves his newborn's life by cutting the infant out of his dying wife's body. He blames himself for Genrose's death because she was doing fine in her labor until the midwife arrived. Though he saved the child, everyone concludes that he murdered Genrose as the omen predicted nine months ago from the blood all over him, the shape of Genrose's body, and his battle reputation.
Simon needs a wet nurse so the arrival of Clarise DuBoise is most fortuitous though Christian believes she has a hidden motive. Her stepfather Ferguson, using her mother and sister as pawns, has ordered Clarise to poison the Slayer. However, upon meeting Simon and quickly realizing that Christian is a man of honor, she cannot do the dastardly deed. As they fall in love, she admits what she intended to do. Instead of tossing her out, Christian plans to defeat Ferguson and his allies without any harm coming to his beloved's family.
DANGER'S PROMISE is an engaging medieval romance that features a wonderful hero, who is misunderstood as a Slayer instead of the compassionate caring person that he is. Only Clarise sees the truth about Christian, a fabulous lead character. Insight into the twelfth century church is fascinating and vividly described by Marliss Moon, but on the other hand tends to slow down the pace of the prime tale. Still, if this novel is any promise of her works to come this is one author that will reach the medieval moon. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Very Enjoyable.
Review: This is the first book I've read from this author and I'm hoping it won't be the last. I found it to be very well written with the characters well developed and a interesting plot. The story centers around the Hero, the Slayer aka Christian. He is a very feared man because of his past deeds that have earned him the nickname. He needs someone to take care of his newborn son after his wife dies in childbirth. That someone is Clarise. She has to lie her way into Slayer's home because she has been sent to destroy Slayer. She has no desire to see his downfall but she has hidden reasons of her own. She soon finds herself taking care of the newborn, Simon and falling in love with both him and his arrogant, dark father. Soon Clarise's deception is uncovered and yet Christian can't send her away. Together they must battle old enemies and find a way to start anew. The author has made me a fan and I look forward to more from her.

Summary: Best Medival Romance I've read in a While
Review: This was a great story that moved along fast. I liked all the characters and look forward to the author's next book. I noticed that "Romantic Times" gave this book only 3 stars. Boy, was that an under rating for this wonderful story!!
